If you or someone you care for is ready to take the next step toward greater independence, Supported Independent Living in Bundoora could be the right path forward. As a registered NDIS provider serving the northern suburbs of Melbourne, we specialise in helping participants build meaningful, supported lives in a home environment that truly feels like their own. Bundoora is a welcoming, well-connected suburb in Melbourne's north, and it is a place where our participants genuinely enjoy living. Whether you are exploring SIL for the first time or looking to transition into a new home, our team is here to guide you every step of the way.
Supported Independent Living is an NDIS-funded support arrangement that allows people with disability to live as independently as possible, with qualified support workers available to assist with daily tasks and personal care. SIL is not just housing. It is an active, person-centred way of living where you receive the right level of support at the right times.
SIL can look different for each participant. For some, it means sharing a comfortable home with housemates and having support workers available during the day. For others, it means 24-hour or overnight support to feel safe and confident at home. The level of support is always based on your individual NDIS plan and your personal goals.
We offer SIL across Melbourne's northern and north-western suburbs, including Bundoora and surrounding areas such as Reservoir, Preston, Lalor, Thomastown, Mill Park and South Morang.
Finding the right SIL home is one of the most important decisions you will make, and we take that seriously. We work closely with participants, families and support coordinators to identify SIL vacancies and suitable housing options in and around Bundoora.
Bundoora sits within the City of Banyule and borders the City of Whittlesea and City of Darebin. Its central location within Melbourne's northern corridor means there are good options for accessible housing close to public transport, services and community activities.

If a SIL vacancy is not immediately available in Bundoora itself, we will explore options in closely neighbouring suburbs such as Mill Park, Reservoir, Preston, Thomastown or Lalor while you wait for a match that is right for you.
If you need somewhere safe and supportive to stay while your SIL placement is being arranged, we can also assist with Short Term Accommodation (STA) and Medium Term Accommodation (MTA). These options allow you to settle in, build confidence and prepare for the transition to permanent SIL without feeling rushed.

What is Supported Independent Living and how does it work in Bundoora?
Supported Independent Living (SIL) is an NDIS-funded arrangement that allows people with disability to live in a home of their own, with support workers available to help with daily tasks, personal care and building independence. In Bundoora, we match participants to suitable SIL homes, arrange compatible housemates where needed, and provide consistent daily support tailored to each person's NDIS plan and individual goals.
Do you have SIL vacancies in Bundoora or nearby suburbs?
We actively maintain SIL housing options in and around Bundoora, including nearby suburbs such as Mill Park, Reservoir, Thomastown, Lalor and Preston. If a vacancy is not immediately available in Bundoora itself, we will help you explore suitable options in the surrounding area and discuss Short Term or Medium Term Accommodation as a bridge while you wait for the right placement.
What support is included when I live in a SIL home?
Support within our SIL homes includes assistance with personal care and morning or evening routines, meal preparation, household tasks, medication reminders, skill development and community participation. The exact level and type of support depends on your individual NDIS plan and your personal preferences. We work with you to create a daily routine that promotes independence while ensuring you always feel safe and supported.
Can SIL be set up as a shared arrangement or can I live alone with support?
SIL can be structured in different ways depending on your needs and preferences. Many participants choose to share a home with one or two compatible housemates, which can create a social environment and allow for cost-effective support. Others may have individual SIL arrangements with dedicated support. We discuss your preferences openly and work to find an arrangement that genuinely suits your lifestyle, personality and support requirements.
How do I apply for SIL funding through the NDIS?
SIL funding is included in your NDIS plan under the Supports in Daily Life category. To have SIL funded, you will generally need a support needs assessment, evidence from allied health professionals and a recommendation that SIL is the most appropriate support option for your situation. Your support coordinator can assist with this process. We are happy to work alongside your support coordinator to help gather the necessary evidence and submit a SIL application to the NDIA.
How long does it take to move into a SIL home in Bundoora?
The timeline can vary depending on vacancy availability, the complexity of your support needs and how quickly your NDIS plan can be updated if needed. Once an enquiry is made, we typically begin the needs discussion and matching process promptly. For participants who need accommodation sooner, we can discuss Short Term Accommodation (STA) or Medium Term Accommodation (MTA) options to provide a stable and supportive environment while your permanent SIL placement is finalised.
